Double success at EuroWeek awards
Lloyds TSB Corporate Markets has won the ‘Best Arranger of UK Loans’ at the 6th annual EuroWeek Syndicated Loans and Leveraged Finance awards, held on Tuesday 3 February at London’s Guildhall.

This is a real testament to the progress we have made in moving ourselves to lead status on deals and to team work which has been key to impressing our customers. Well done to everyone involved.”
